Bad News Bears

Not that is a funny movie. The little kids' expressions, Buttermakers remarks, Lupis, Tanner's remarks, they all make that movie fantastic. But most of all, the music makes the movie special. The music is just so random and classical that it makes the movie ten times funnier. I know it's an old movie, but I recommend this movie for everyone. Go see it!

You can take your apology and your trophy and shove it straight up your......

Can't say that last part on here. =]


Peace and Love.

Making the Movie

So, I made a movie for the America without the first amendment project. I worked so hard and long on that movie an dI think it turned out great. I shot the entire thing in the forest near my house, both times when it was freezing out. It was snowing one time and then other time it was just freeeezing out. I had already had the idea of people getting vaporized in the movie so I needed that to happen somehow. My mac has the amazing ability to do that feature and it made it happen. It took hours of editing all the footage and putting all of the government shots into the places where I wanted them. The songs were easy. I needed Pumped Up Kicks somewhere in it. I also needed a Beatle song, Tomorrow Never Knows. Don't Fear (The Reaper) was a given. And my father suggested to put in 2112, which ended up being my favorite part in the whole movie. I really hoped everyone liked it because I enjoyed creating it.
WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL!

Pumped Up Kicks

So... yea. This song is freakin amazing. I was watching TV once and I heard this song on a commercial for  a new CD coming out. I was listening thinking "Wow, this is a really catchy song." So I looked it up on Youtube and was just blown away by awesomeness. And, crazy enough, it is about a person who went crazy and killed a bunch of people. "You better run, better run, faster than my bullet"... Yea. That's literally what it means.




Peace and Love.

American Pie

No, not the movie. The song! THE SONG! This song is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm listening to it right now as I'm typing. This song has so much meanings and symbols in it that I love. I know all the words to this eight minute song and I probably listen to it about two times a day. But, when I first put this song on my I-pod, I listened to it non stop for like three days. For at least a week, all of my statuses on Facebook were lyrics from it. And it's funny. The reason I started liking this song was because I heard the Weird Al version called The Saga Begins. Funny stuff.


Bye bye Miss American Pie

Pacman

So, I bet you all know the game Pacman. You probably played it in arcade rooms or somewhere else. But, I guarantee you have never played Pacman the way my best friend and I play it. Now, when we play Pacman... we go crazy. Blood curdling shrieks, yelling of ones names, punching(rarely) and screams of joy all occur. We get really into it. We treat it like it's our own lives are at stake. We have been playing Pacman on my friend's gaming system for as long as I can remember. It is a past time for us. And I always say, you have never fully met me if you haven't watched me play Pacman. I become a different person.

Very Mysterious

Have you ever gotten a scratch or bruise and you have no dea where you got it from? Yea, it happens to me all the time. I long time ago, I woke up from a nap and there was this big scratch all across my cheek. At first I thought it was from my cat. But, then I realized that my cats don't come in my room when I sleep. And... cat scratches hurt soooo much! So i figured that I did it myself in my sleep. Last night, I did it again! I big scratch on my nose! I don;t remember doing it, but it somehow happened. It's true that you have no control over yourself when you sleep I guess.

Long Distance Friend

I have one of the greatest guy friends ever. But, unfortunately, he lives in California. He is seriously the nicest guy ever. My mom and his dad worked together and they are still friends. They came over to visit 3 years ago. We first talked about Fred, who was popular on Youtube. I never talked to him until last year when they visited again. At first, we sat at different sides of the tale at the restaurant. But, one thing I noticed was that we had the exact same scarf! It was the year of the blizzard and he needed to but a scarf. I mentioned to his dad that we had the same scarf and he called him over. We talked all night and it was great! We're now friends on Facebook and talk quite often. You don't know how much I wish that he lived here. I LOVE YOU ERIC!



Peace and Love.

Harry Nilsson

Alright, I know nobody has ever heard of this person before. He's an older musician and he has since passed away. But, his music was and still is the most beautiful and sad music I have ever listened to. He has the most amazing voice and he sometimes brings my to tears. After a bad day, I just sit in my room, blast his music, and belt out to his songs. One of the saddest songs is "Without You". It's such a sad song, but he sounds like an angel in it. Like I said, no one probably has ever heard of him before. You should go check him out though.

Cubscouts and Bowling Don't Mix

At bowling practice for Lake Central, we are pretty much not suppose to have any fun. We're suppose to focused on bowling and talk about nothing else. But tell me how I'm suppose to focus on bowling when there are a bunch of cubscouts bowling like crazy people next to us? There were about 20 little cubscout boys running down the lane and screaming as loud as they could! So, for the majority of time, the other people on the team and I were just watching them and having a great time. One particular boy started from the chairs with the little 6 pound ball and ran as fast as he could toward the lane. Sometimes, just the ball would go down the lane. But sometimes, he himself would go down the lane too. Just looking at him fall down hurt me. And, of course, when one of them got a strike, we would cheer for them. *Sigh* I rememeber when bowling used to be fun...

Peace and Love, Caroline Dienes

MEOW!

So, I have three cats. Their names are Kitty, Jake, and Tre Cat. That's in order of when we got them. We got Kitty from a friend. Her name was once Lucky(She's a black cat so it would be funny since black cats aren't lucky) We kept calling her Kitty for some reason so we changed it. We got Jake from the Humane Society. His name in there was Jamil... Yea, we changed it. We named him after Joliet Jake from the Blue's Brothers. He is probably the most friendly out of the three. We got Tre Cat from another friend. We named him after Tre Cool from the band Green Day. We call her Tre for short. She thinks she's a dog because she paws at everyone at the dinner table to open the back door for her so she can go out on the deck. The cutest things my cats do is that they sleep in show boxes. They are soooo adorable! I love my cats so much!


Peace and Love.

My Name

Just so everyone knows, my name is Caroline. It sounds like Care-o-line. You actually say the line in the name. It is NOT Carolyn. That is not my name. Guess what my biggest pet peeve is? Yea, it's when people call me Carolyn. THAT'S NOT MY NAME!  The e at the end of my name even makes the i make the 'i' sound. So if you pronounce in like Carolyn, you don't know your grammar. Some people I know that I have known for a long time still call me Carolyn. They just don't get it. Or they're just trying to get me irate. Because everyone who has ever met me has had the experience of me telling them what my name is. It's Caroline. Nothing else.

Odd Music. Great Music.

It occurred to me that some of the music I listen to doesn't seem to be listened to by anyone else. Just some of them: of Montreal, Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, Man Man, and many others. I heard of these bands from car rides to school last year with my older sister. But, since she is off to college, the music I listen to has stayed the same. These bands just stuck out the most to me from those car rides. of Montreal is the craziest music I have ever heard, but the songs are just so easy to get stuck in your head! Although, none of their lyrics make sense to me... they are probably my second favorite band right now.


Peace and Love.

PAUL MCCARTNEY!

This summer, I finally saw a member of my favorite band of ALL TIME! I saw Paul McCartney from The Beatles at Wrigley Field. I never thought I would be able to see him or Ringo Starr in the flesh, but I did. It was probably the best night of my life so far. Even though my family had the farthest seats known to man, we could still see the little speck of red and then white when he took off his jacket. I could not believe that Paul McCartney was RIGHT THERE! He played so many songs, but he actually played my favorite Paul song, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da". I started bawling. (I actually started bawling when he came first came out on stage and played "Magical Mystery Tour".) He came out for like 4 encores and the night seemed like it was going on forever. Even though it was blazing hot and I was so far away, it was such an amazing night. And, of course, I still have my ticket plastered on my wall in my room. For a 68 year old, Paul McCartney can put on a heck of a show.

The Beatles <3

Pure Luck or Meant To Be?

Alright, so I'll admit to everyone, I never had a boyfriend before... Until last Friday. I'm not going to say his name so don't ask! And no one say it if you somehow know who it is! Just trying to keep his identity a secret if you don't mind. =] So this is how the night went! We were taking a walk in my neighborhood and decided to just chill on my pool deck. Then we BOTH saw a shooting star! It was just so perfect! Then, I finally summoned the courage to ask him what he thought about us. And he said, "I think we should be boyfriend and girlfriend". And we kissed. So, how did your Friday night go? =]

Bowling is Intense

On Suday, the Lake Central girls bowling team had a tounrament which was the most heart stopping bowling experience I ever had so far. We made it to the step ladder and won our way to the last two games against the last team. We played two games. The first game, we lost by 27 pins. The second game, we won by 25. We lost by two pins. The worst thing was we thought we won for a minute. But, someone asked what we won by and someone said 25 pins. Then, the other team's fans cheered. It was heart breaking. We did so great and I was so proud of the team. We will dominate the next tournament!!!!!!!!!!!
